Look Out Wall Street: There’s a New White-Collar Cop in Brooklyn

Winston Paes would like white-collar criminals to know they have a new foe in the New York U.S. Attorney’s Office. The one in Brooklyn, not Manhattan.

Prosecutors on the other side of the East River have long dominated high-profile cases of financial shenanigans. Paes said he’d like that to change now that he’s head of the business and securities fraud section in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District. He also doesn’t want to disappoint Loretta Lynch, his boss until she was sworn in as U.S. attorney general.
